Strawberry Jam
Author: 
Recipe type: Jam Preserves
 
This is the stovetop version. I don't like to cook more than 1kg of fruit at a time on the stovetop, as the more fruit you add, the longer the cooking time. I prefer to use a heavy based cast iron pan.
Ingredients
  • 1kg strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 500gm sugar
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
Instructions
  1. Place all ingredients in a heavy based pot over a medium to low heat. Stir regularly to prevent the jam sticking on the bottom.
  2. Simmer gently for approximately 1 hour or until jam thickens.
  3. While still hot, pour jam into sterilised jars.
  4. Seal immediately.
  5. Store in a cool place out of direct sunlight for up to 6 months.
  6. Makes approximately 4 cups.
